Level 11

Blinds: 2,000-4,000
Limits: 4,000-8,000

Before the 2025 World Series of Poker started, Chad Holloway and Mike Holtz were joined by Joey Ingram and Christina Gollins on the PokerNews Podcast to host the show's first-ever Fantasy Draft!

After reviewing the scoring system and choosing team names, a draft was conducted and the stakes were set. The owner of the worst team will buy the winning three teams a nice Las Vegas dinner. Plus, fans can choose which team they're rooting for, and if that team wins, they'll be entered into a random giveaway.

Who was drafted early? Who was put on the bench? And who wasn't drafted at all?

Rheem Gets Left on Fumes; Guagenti Takes His Seat

Claudio Elizalde

Level 11

Blinds: 2,000-4,000
Limits: 4,000-8,000

Jeffrey Lipton started with a raise before Chino Rheem put in a third bed. Lipton called.

Heads up they said the 4♠4♣3♥ scroll across and Lipton check-called a bet from Rheem.

The Q♦ peeled off and Lipton check-raised Rheem, who made the call.

The river was the J♥ and Lipton thought for a moment before putting out another bet.

"Why'd you have to think about it?" Chino called.

Lipton tabled the Q♠10♦ for top pair and an agitated Rheem made sure to let Lipton know he'd gotten very lucky floating him and catching on the turn. Rheem claimed to have a pair of jacks.

Rheem was seen leaving the tournament shortly after, as he'd only been left with 8,000 in chips after the previous hand.

Coincidentally, Nick Guagenti, took his seat. Guagenti recently beat Rheem heads up for his third bracelet ($295,008). Guagenti won his first live bracelet at the 2024 World Series of Poker in the $1,500 Limit Hold'em. He'll be one to watch if he can spin up his starting stack.
